Admissions Essay Composition

Find Your story

At Endeavor we believe that writing a good admissions essay can be rewarding. It is your one chance to tell your story, to think about times in your life that have been important to you and to explain why. The hardest part of a good admissions essay is finding the right story. At Endeavor we start by thinking about the story that puts your candidacy in the strongest light without sacrificing originality and creativity. Take a look at sample admissions essays on our website, or give us a call to help you get started.

Write!

Make a rough draft

The hardest part of writing is starting to write. You just have to get down and get something on paper. Organize your story into distinct moments. Figure out how the story you are telling highlights different aspects of your personality or demonstrates your particular insight into a situation, and turn those different strengths and insights into paragraphs.

Get Feedback and Redraft

You aren't going to write a good essay if you don't get feedback. At Endeavor we are here to give you the best feedback possible. Showing your work to your tutor should be exciting and fun. We will then work through your draft together and clarify your ideas. Good writing requires many versions and iterations, and that is why the next step of the process is to go back and edit again. It might take four or five times until it is just right, but when it is, you'll feel satisfied and accomplished.

Admissions consulting at Endeavor includes brainstorming, reviewing, and editing of all of your essays. However, if you have a busy schedule or live too far away from New York City, Boston, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia to have one-on-one consultations, we've got you covered. Thanks to our admissions essay editing form, we can assist you no matter where you are in the world. From Providence to San Francisco and from Seoul to Paris, we welcome submissions from everyone!
